BrauerAlgebra

: the diagrams that are perfect matchings — every point paired with exactly one other. Dimension .

BrauerAlgebra(n)the Brauer algebra on strands

Domain: Diagram algebras

Details
  • Dimension = 1, 3, 15, 105 — the perfect matchings of points
  • Contains the symmetric group: a permutation diagram is a matching whose every block joins a top point to a bottom one
  • The generators satisfy , the braid relation, and
  • Restricting further to the PLANAR matchings gives TemperleyLiebAlgebra
